Thank you for visiting the site of Wake Forest’s award winning baby photographer! Today we are sharing a glimpse into a newborn photo session styled specifically for baby boy Tadrian. This little fella came into the newborn photo studio in Wake Forest for his first modeling gig! And he was such a handsome and happy little boy. His parents requested blues and browns, and so Melissa styled his session around their requests. He was relaxed and sleepy, which helped to achieve so many of the cute sleepy newborn poses, as you’ll see below! He nailed the froggy pose, bum-up pose, and a few others, and we also did the precious close-ups of his face, lips and toes. And of course don’t forget prop shots, as we always get a few of those as well! Here are some favorites from Tadrian’s Raleigh newborn photo session!

Sweet baby Penelope came into my Wake Forest newborn photo studio for a Mini Session! We did a few beautiful setups in purple, which was Mom’s request, as well as some pretty pink. Penelope was sooo cute, and we managed to get a few different props, as well as some sleepy blanket newborn poses, and close-ups of her features. All were stunning portraits!

The mini newborn sessions are all completed in one hour, and as you’ll see from the photos below, we do manage to achieve some variety in these, and cover all the bases! I’m excited for you to see my favorite photos from Penelope’s Wake Forest newborn photography session!

Wait until you see the very handsome baby Shiloh! He’s a stunning baby that’s so very loved and adored by his mom and dad, and big brother! Shiloh slept so peacefully, and even woke up for a little stretch for a few shots with his eyes open (I love when this happens – it just shows a touch more personality and sweet expressions!).

If you’re looking for a newborn baby photo session, and you’re due this spring or summer, please reach out soon to book your photo session! We offer three different package options, allowing for different price points and variety of photos.

Shiloh’s family purchased the “full” Cary newborn photography sesssion, which is the largest package offering the most variety of props and poses. Below are all of my favorites from Shiloh’s newborn photo session!

This next tiny little peanut came to see me in January for her Raleigh newborn photographer session. She was soooo itty bitty – most of my headbands and hats had to be adjusted for her tiny head. We did newborn photos of her with her big brother and sister, and they each wanted turns holding her. I think this baby girl is going to be very loved on as she grows older. Her older siblings were so adoring of her! I loved her family photos, as well as her detailed close-up photos of her sweet toes, lips, and lashes. This baby girl is absolute perfection – as you’ll see below!

Oh what a sweet one I have to share with you today! I was so happy to be chosen as this sweet family’s Durham baby photographer. Little baby Josephine was such a darling. So beautiful, and an excellent sleeper!

We managed to work through several family photos, as well as lots of cute sleepy blanket poses, and some adorable baby props as well! Just look how precious she looked in everything – both pops of colors and some neutrals too. Everything looked so great on baby Josphine. Her newborn baby photo session was a total success!

And here are some of my favorite photos from Josephine’s Raleigh Durham baby photography session!

Wake Forest Newborn Photographer | Baby Girl Madelyn

I met baby Madelyn right before Christmas, and loved our Wake Forest newborn photo session together. We got some adorable photos of her with Mom and Dad, and some precious prop shots (see the one of her snuggling the little bear!), several sweet sleepy poses on the blankets, and some detail shots of her perfect little face, eyelashes, and toes.

Madelyn’s family opted for my “keepsake” newborn photo session option, which is an hour and a half of posing and photographing the baby in my Wake Forest baby photo studio. This session allows us time for a few family photos, with focus still on the baby’s photos. In the keepsake sessions, I also aim for a couple of different baby props, and some of the snuggly little sleeping poses on the blanket. I always switch out hats and headbands, and get lots of angles in each pose as well. So this gives us some variety and covers the main bases that most people want. For the most variety, I recommend the “full” newborn photo session option, which is two hours of time together, and we can get a lot more photos with just a little extra time added on.

Here’s a peek at some of my favorites from Madelyn’s Wake Forest newborn photo session!

Today we’re sharing another newborn “mini” photo session in Melissa’s Wake Forest photo studio. This cute baby girl is named Love! Such a unique and fitting name for her, as she is so very loved by her sweet parents! She was a precious little angel for her Raleigh newborn photo session. She looked so beautiful in all the pinks, purples, and creams!

This baby girl’s mama followed all of Melissa’s tips to get baby Love sleepy before her photo session, and she also came with a belly full of milk. So baby Love slept peacefully while Melissa worked through a lot of different props and sleepy poses. We managed to get so much variety in this one-hour mini portrait session! She looked adorable in the bucket, the wooden bowl, and in the little nakey poses on the blanket! There were sooo many beautiful Durham baby portraits… here are just a few so you can get a peek at our amazing variety!

Say hello to sweet baby girl, Charlotte! She came in for snuggles and baby portraits last month, and was such a sweetheart and fun to work with! Charlotte’s mommy reached out to Melissa last minute after Charlotte was already born. And quite often Melissa can squeeze these requests in – so please never hesitate to reach out for your newborn’s Raleigh baby photography session! We’re so glad we got to work with baby Charlotte!

We loved meeting this sweet family who came to the newborn photo studio from the town of Wendell, NC! We have families drive from all over to take advantage of Melissa’s beautiful posing skills. You only get this opportunity once… to have your baby so tiny and sleepy! We made sure to get all of the best photos for this sweet family – family photos, sibling photos, macro (detailed, close-up) portraits, naked sleepy poses, and prop shots. And all of the cute headbands, hats, wraps, and pretty accessories for baby Charlotte!

Here’s a little peek into Charlotte’s newborn photography session in Melissa’s Wake Forest baby photo studio!

We have officially reached fall, which is always a busy time for Melissa’s photo studio! Lots of requests for dark, rich colors, and of course the requests for holiday and Christmas setups have started too. It’s the best time of the year!

Today we are sharing a few lovely photos of precious baby boy Logan. He came into the studio recently at an itty bitty two weeks old. His parents requested lots of green, so we understood the assignment! 🙂 We dug into our huge newborn prop stash, and decided on using the little bed with a green outfit, and then also one of our most loved crates that fits babies so well! And of course, we would never forget the naked sleepy poses (our favorite), and the close-up shots of all of baby’s precious little details.

We can’t wait to welcome all of fall and winter’s newborn babies into our Wake Forest / Raleigh photo studio for their first portraits!
